[sleuthkit-announce] Recent Releases

[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

I just realized that I did not do a very good job at announcing the past
two releases via email.  The Autopsy 4.9.1 release was focused on a fairly
serious Image Gallery bug fix (that could cause the entire application to
hang).  Autopsy 4.9.0 had the bulk of the new features.

Autopsy Highlights:

   - Added ability to find common items (files, emails, etc.) between
   current case and past cases using the Central Repository.
   - Added ability to ignore common items that exist in a large number of
   cases by using Central Repository data.
   - Allow users to specify that an ad-hoc keyword search should not be
   saved to database
   - New “Annotations” content viewer that shows all tags and comments
   associated with an item
   - Added 2 icons to the table to show the item’s score (if it is notable
   or suspicious) and if it has a comment.
   - Added column to the table to show previous number of occurrences.
   - Tags are now associated with the user (in a multi-user environment)
   and you can hide other people’s tags
   - Hash sets can be copied into the user’s config folder (AppData), which
   makes it easier to run Autopsy from a Live Triage USB and not care about
   what drive letter it gets.
   - Image Gallery works better in multi-user setups and reloads the
   database when other nodes add data sources.

The Sleuth Kit Highlights:

   - Mostly all changes to support Autopsy features.
